About the role
An International Tax Director is required for a 12-month contract to support a listed, international group undergoing a significant merger.
We are looking for a senior international tax professional to join the existing team and provide hands-on support across restructuring, legal entity reduction and wider M&A activity. The successful candidate will be comfortable operating at Director/Senior Manager level, working autonomously and driving actions through to completion.
The role is available ASAP.
Key Responsibilities:
- Support the implementation of pre-merger restructuring and financial restructuring, ensuring the group is able to meet external dividend commitments.
- Define and lead legal entity reduction plans, including sourcing, developing and documenting the required technical tax analysis.
- Review balance sheets and group structures to identify tax inefficiencies and opportunities for simplification, including undertaking dividends and other restructuring steps as required.
- Review existing tax processes and controls, working with relevant teams to ensure these are appropriately updated ahead of the merger.
- Support the preparation of Day 1 tax materials and documentation for the merger.
- Lead the tax workstream on other M&A initiatives, including drafting step plans, reviewing technical positions and supporting implementation.
- Support tax risk reviews, technical analysis and documentation as required.
- Work closely with internal stakeholders and wider project teams to ensure agreed actions are clearly owned, progressed and completed.
- Take a hands-on, delivery-focused approach, proactively identifying issues, chasing actions and ensuring key tax deliverables remain on track.
Candidate Profile:
We would consider candidates at Senior Manager or Director level with strong international tax experience, ideally gained within a complex multinational environment and with significant exposure to restructuring, M&A and legal entity rationalisations.
The successful candidate will be technically strong but also highly practical, commercially minded and comfortable working at pace within a major transformation programme. Strong stakeholder management and the ability to drive activity through multiple teams will be essential.
Contract Details:
- Contract length: 12 months
- Start date: ASAP
- Location: South London
- Office attendance: Ideally 3 days per week, with some flexibility
- Level: Senior Manager / Director
- Engagement: Full-time or part-time considered
- Employment options: FTC or day rate contractor
- Contractor option: Candidates operating through a Limited Company will be considered
- Compensation: Competitive base salary plus car allowance for an employed/FTC arrangement, or an equivalent competitive daily rate for a contractor
- Working pattern: Flexibility available depending on candidate and engagement type
